normally i’m not one for halloween…. i know, it seems like it should be my favorite time of year, but honestly i don’t much care for it.

however – i just got my kitsune and nekomata back from the show they were at, and so i decided to have some fun (unfortunately the kitsune had to sit it out due to some minor breakage in shipping). normally, yokai are celebrated in mid to late summer (such as when the obon festivals are held), but i think they’re open to having a party pretty much any time of the year.

so i’ve been working on a few projects recently while fighting a cold and real life – hence the lack of pictures – but i’m also soon to start a part time job. in some ways it’s really great to have it, but it will also be cutting into the time i have to work on my drawings, dolls, and photography. so updates will probably be more like 2x a month rather than weekly (as per my original goal lately i’ve been slacking on that anyway… )

a lot depends on how many hours i end up putting into it, but i still hope to have time to work on various things.

in the meantime, enjoy a few pics i’ve taken over the last couple of weeks. first up are some more pics of the prince bust and memoria bust done for our memoria class through a for artistic. after that are a couple pics of pestilence playing around with a bit of feather boa that i have.

yeah, seems like i’ve gone from once a week to once or twice a month with these updates. in part due to real life drama sapping all my energy, and in part because i keep forgetting to update everything.

however, i recently finished another bust to put up on etsy soon. she’s another fish-inspired lady boringly named “fish 2″ – i’m terrible at coming up with names…

i also took some shots of plague – who’s had some cracking recently so i need to make repairs and restring her. i also have to make some new arms and hands for kame, so my main two girls will be out of commission for awhile….

i've been drawing for as long as i could hold a pencil and art became my first language. though i've only been sculpting since 2007, i fell in love with the idea of being able to bring my drawings to life.
i am heavily inspired by medieval macabre artwork, japanese yokai, and oddly enough, sherlock holmes.
currently i'm living just south of beautiful portland oregon ^^
